9781789464696 £8.99 Memoir 'I never got the chance to be a child.' Shaneda Daly was only four when her father started grooming her. For nearly 15 years, he would go on to sexually abuse his daughter every day. Her ex-army and prison officer father admitted to his family what he had done, leaving home for only a year to get help. Welcomed 'a changed man', Shaneda had no choice to accept it and lived alongside him again only for him to try and abuse her once more. After realising she had no choice but to leave, Shaneda finally reclaimed her power by standing up to the man who destroyed her childhood and contacted the police. Decades later, in 2011, she watched as her father was convicted of 227 counts of abuse. Shaneda now fights as a campaigner for other victims and is bravely telling her story fully for the first time: the story of a survivor.
